Johnson Controls VA9208-BGA-3 Actuator

The Johnson Controls VA9208-BGA-3 is a heavy-duty spring return direct coupled actuator designed for precise two-position control of ball valves in commercial HVACR systems. Delivering 70 lb-in torque, this unit operates on both 24Vac and 24Vdc power supplies, making it a versatile choice for field replacements and new installations. Engineering specifications indicate a power on run time of 55-71 seconds, ensuring controlled movement to prevent water hammer while maintaining system stability. The integrated 48-inch appliance cable features an integral 3/8" FMC connector, simplifying electrical terminations in tight mechanical spaces. Built for reliability in demanding environments, the VA9208-BGA-3 actuator provides mechanical redundancy via its robust spring return mechanism, ensuring the valve returns to its fail-safe position during power loss. This Johnson Controls actuator is the industry standard for HVAC valve automation, offering seamless integration with various ball valve assemblies.

• Universal Power Compatibility: Operates on 24Vac or 24Vdc, reducing service van stock requirements.
• High Torque Output: 70 lb-in rating ensures positive shut-off and reliable operation of large-bore ball valves.
• Streamlined Installation: The pre-installed 48-inch cable with FMC connector eliminates the need for field-wiring separate conduits.
• Fail-Safe Security: Mechanical spring return provides dependable positioning during emergency shutdowns or power failures.
• Direct Coupled Design: Minimizes mechanical linkage failures and reduces the overall footprint of the valve assembly.

How do I wire the VA9208-BGA-3 for two-position operation?
This actuator utilizes a standard two-wire control scheme; applying power drives the actuator to its end-of-travel position, while removing power allows the internal spring to return the valve to its original state.

Can this actuator be used in high-vibration environments?
Yes, the ruggegized housing and integral FMC connector are designed to maintain electrical and mechanical integrity in standard mechanical room conditions.

What is the typical lifespan of the spring return mechanism?
The VA9208 series is engineered for high-cycle applications, maintaining consistent torque delivery through thousands of full-stroke cycles without degradation of the return force.
